96 Yangarra 2017 Ironheart Shiraz (McLaren Vale). Lucid and expressive, this opens with a mélange of aromas: cherry and currant, sweet and savory spices, chocolate, floral and mineral base notes. The palate follows suit just as you’d expect, with a lovely juxtaposition between elegance and crunchy red berries tempered by taut, fine, highly textural tannins. A spiciness lingers. Drink now with rustic, meaty autumn and winter dishes, or cellar until 2035, at least. Jackson Family Wines. —C.P.
